About the show
Laughing Bishops Comedy Club returns with another outstanding night of live stand-up featuring Michael Fabbri, Roger Monkhouse and host Paddy Lennox.
MICHAEL FABBRI is an engaging and wonderfully offbeat storyteller. A finalist in Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny?, he has performed internationally, supported Micky Flanagan on tour and created the BBC Radio 4 comedy series Dyslexicon.
ROGER MONKHOUSE is one of the UK circuit’s most respected headliners. A regular member of The Comedy Store’s acclaimed Cutting Edge team, Roger combines razor-sharp topical observations, intelligent writing and masterful audience interaction.
“Unfailingly entertaining.” — Chortle
PADDY LENNOX hosts with quick wit, mischievous Irish charm and spontaneous audience banter. A professional comedian since 2000, Paddy plays leading clubs including The Comedy Store, The Glee Club and The Stand, as well as performing internationally for P&O Cruises.
Paddy has received 494 five-star JokePit ratings:
“A naturally funny man.”
“So gifted and quick-witted!”

Featuring - Paddy Lennox
Paddy is a popular Irish Stand-up and has been tour support for Rhod Gilbert, Lucy Porter and Micky Flanagan.
He hosts The Laughing Bishops Comedy Club in Bishop's Stortford and The Great Dunmow Comedy Club in... er... Great Dunmow. Both are sell-out shows mainly due to all the acts being his friends from The London Comedy Store.
He started Stand-Up in December 2001 only to be interrupted with a couple of comedies at Shakespeare's Globe Theatre and a couple of surreal commercials in far off lands, before returning to his new found passion.
A naturally funny, warm comic who plays all the big (and small) clubs in the UK. He has also gigged in South Africa, Germany, Ireland, Croatia, Estonia, Malta, and lil' ol' Slovenia.
'... simply a scream' (The Daily Telegraph)
'... comedy the way it should be: a laugh-a-minute which leaves the audience wishing the show was just a little bit longer... gentle Irish lilt belies a mischievous sense of humour' (Fest).
'Excellent stand-up, Paddy Lennox, is laid-back and charismatic. Vastly entertaining. This show proves that the AAA stand-up comedians have great things ahead of them' (Three Weeks).
Roger Monkhouse
'Skinhead, intellectual, and specialist compere, Roger Monkhouse employs a deadly combination of charm and menace to exert a masterful control over any audience' (Glee)
'His laconic delivery shields an engaging persona and an enquiring mind' (The Guardian)
'Pulls punchlines, seemingly, out of thin air... Saucy - and uncompromisingly so - sometimes topical, sometimes punny, sometimes clever, sometimes daft... There is, in short, something in this varied comedy menu for every taste... A gifted natural... One of the consummate professionals of the stand-up circuit' (Chortle)
'... one of the most experienced acts in the business. His deadpan style and quick wit make him one of the best acts out there, and he is a regular fixture at top venues all over the country, as well as performing extensively throughout the rest of the world' (Funhouse Comedy).
Michael Fabbri
Laid-back Londoner Michael Fabbri whose hilarious stories and brilliant writing have made him one of the most highly-rated acts on the circuit.
With a dark and honest approach to some of life's more touchy subjects, he manages to effortlessly slip between some harsh controversial topics to light-hearted silliness to make for a refreshingly eclectic and brilliantly funny act.
Nominated best club comic Chortle Awards 2012.
'Intelligence in spades... consummate idiot savant' (The List)
'... exceptionally funny... extremely sharp... hugely enjoyable' (The Scotsman)
'An absolutely superb circuit headliner' (London Is Funny)
'Startlingly insightful' (The Guardian)
'Hilarious, Clever, sick and completely unrepeatable' (BBC Online)
'One of the best up-and-coming acts around' (Chortle).
